Ancient Looking Glasses Looking glasses of the Seven ttenth century were sometimes made with frames entirely of glass. Gilded leaves and flowers carved from wood is another indication of an early date. Chippendale mirrors of the Chinese period are said to be the most elaborate ever produced. Those of the rococo period "are so daring and magnificent that few rooms can stand them. With the Adam period a complete change in ornamentation appeared urns, sphinxes and other devices strictly classical The circular convex mirror usually with an eagle ornament and candelabra are products of the late Eighteenth century and the early part of the Nineteenth. Devils Tower, Old Monument Devils Tower, in Wyoming, the oldest national monument under the national park service of the Department of the Interior, is, it is asserted, 20,000,000 years old. It is a unique and colossal geologic formation which stands stumplike in the Black Hills. The striated stone, measuring 1,000 feet in diameter at its base, occupies one and a hall acres of territory, and stands 80S feet above ground. Geologists hold jthat about 50,000,000 years ago, when the Black Kills were form ' I ing, molten rock started to force its way through weak points in the limestone and sandstone in the area. These formed surface flows, sills and lava "blisters. i I Humus, Deeayed Plant Matter Humus is the name for all more or less decayed plant and animal matter. Examples are peat and muck from swamps, compost (which is a mixture of leaves, sods, garden litter, garbage, etc., piled up and allowed to rot) and the like. Humus has some fertilizer value but this is variable, depending on its contents. The most important function of humus is to improve the of the soil, by making it loose and more spongy. Humus will not burn roots of plants. tex-tui- e Mamba, Dreaded Snake "Most dreaded snake in Africa is how naturalists describe the mambas. Even a slight wound from the fangs generally means death. The black mamba surpasses the green in size, often growing to 1 feet. Mambas are so irritable and nervous, they can be kept in captivity only in separate cages. Yet they can be tamed. They drop from limbs or glide swiftly from bushes to attack humans. Their speed permits no escape. theyacail Gigha in Gaelic, and- perhaps one reason is that the people there still cling e to their traditions, writes Frederic Babcock in the Chicago Tribune.

The nations farm population has decreased for the first time since 1929, the bureau of agricultural economics reported. There are now 31,729,000 persons on farms, as against 31,809,000 a year ago, the bureau estimated. During the last year 1,166,000 persons left farms, while 719,000 moved to farms from villages, towns and cities. Thus gross migration totaled Glasgow. RUGS CLEANED AND SIZED 1138 CO.

Albert Prass of Marshfield went to town for aid after his car stalled oh the Oregon Coast highway near a railroad overhead crossing. In his absence, a policeman called a wrecker. When Pratt returned, he found his car missing. Pratt and the wrecker met at a nearby town. The wrecker presented Pratt with a $10 towing bill. Pratt turned the 1925 auto over to the wrecker and marked it up as a total loss. WELDING? Treasury Also Reports Increase in Raids on Stills. "Just Bring In the Pieces Washington. Counterfeiting was reduced during the past fiscal year of the preto less than vious years volume, 500 more moonshine stills were seized, and liquor smuggling was kept down to a negligible figure, the Treasury announces in reporting on the work of its various enforcement agencies. Whereas in 1936 the amount of counterfeit notes turned over to the secret service by banks and innocent recipients was $736,670, and the value of spurious coins was the respective amounts in 1937 were $487,643 and $64,750. In addition, $122,767 to notes and $3,253 to coins were seized to 1937 from counterfeiters themselves. The increase of 512 in the number of stills seized was accounted for by stronger enforcement, with an increased personnel in Alabama and Georgia. Figures showed that stills captured to Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia totaled 6,620 out of all the 16,141 captured. Alabama led with 2,466. Moonshtoing must have been a very poor investment to Maine and Vermont, for to each state only one still was seized. The only large increase to the number of captures was to Alabama, where 1,091 more stills were raided than to the previous year. For the rest of the country there was a decline of 944, with most of the states sharing to the decrease. Treasury statisticians estimated that moonshiners lost $3,977,179 through capture of their products and equipment, automobiles, etc. In all, 29,476 whisky makers were $67,-53- 5, arrested. Rum Row seems to have been wiped out by the coast guard, which seized only 11 vessels, as compared with 34 the previous year, liquor seizures declining from $176, 890 in 1936 to $2,176 to 1937. Only half a dozen persons were arrested as compared with 48 in 1936. The bureau of narcotics ended the year with 3,469 arrests, seizure of 3,962 ounces of narcotic drugs and 115 automobiles, as compared with 3,333 arrests and seizures of 3,280 ounces of drugs and 109 automobiles to 1936. Prehistoric Race Once Lived in Kentucky Caves Lexington, Ky. Evidence of a prehistoric race of cave dwellers that buried its women and children and cremated its men has been discovered by University of Kentucky anthropologists to rock shelters of eastern Kentucky. The anthropologists Profs. W. S. Webb and W. D. Funkhouser completely excavated the Newt Kasch shelter to Menifee county and reported it differed greatly from caves to surrounding counties. There was a decided dearth of flint, pottery and bone but an unusual amount of vegetable matter and some surprisingly fine fabric. The excavating party was puzzled by a series of large pits dug to the subsoil instead of to the ash beds as was the usual custom. It was believed the pits were used for storage purposes. Other features of the cave were several masses of matting, cane grass and fragments of textiles. It was believed they were used as mattresses or possibly as bags for transporting food to the shelter. Only one burial site was found to the shelter proper. Located between two large boulders, the grave contained the fragmentary remains of a male infant of Britain Legendary King In no other shelters in Kentucky King Arthur was a legendary king of Britain of the Sixth century, who have graves containing male bones became the central figure of a great been found, although large numbers of female cycle of romance.

East Snow Drinks Forerunner of Ice Cream Industry Who first invented ice cream? No one really knows. Alexander the Great is recorded as having a great weakness for d fruit drinks. The Roman patricians also drank vast quantities of fruit drinks mixed with exorbitantly pricer now. And an old Roman cook Quintus Maximus Gurges, is said tc have been the first to serve ice cream soda, says a writer in London Answers Magazine. All that historians are really certain about is that by the Middle ages toe cream had definitely arrived fa court circles. Four centuries ago, Catherine de Medici was being served with ice cream of a different flavor every day. As usual the English were all behind to this branch of civilization. Charles I remedied matters a little by bringing over a French chef who surprised the king with the delicacy. With the coming of the Civil war, the Frenchman fled back to his native land, taking the secret with him. From that time until the seventies of last century, w practically unknown here.
